Sun Kil Moon - Exodus lyrics

I showed up to Heathrow today For the 2000th time Got into my taxi and I learned Nick Cave's son died The news hit me like a bus into a hill 'cause once at the K West Hotel I met him and his son They were standing across the hall And I mentioned to him how be both played Hultsfred 1997 I don't believe in god but sometimes I hope there's heaven The bad news hurt to hear and it hurts to repeat It's just sad news and I'm sorry to even speak it I was on my way home from Perth this past March, Virgin Airlines, row 23 And I watched '20,000 Days On Earth', and it inspired me I'm very much me And Nick Cave is very much he But we are the same in that we are both songbirds and that we don't stop moving We're like waves in the sea I remember seeing Mike Tyson's 'Undisputed Truth' He spoke about the pa**ing of his daughter Exodus and how he joined the bereaved parents group He knew when he arrived at her bed, that he was not alone Because the parents of the other children embraced him and they cried together in the hospital room And I remember when Danielle Steel lost her son At only 19-years-old to an overdose on h**n And on his bedroom window still remains the sticker he put there, 'The Misfits' Every time I walk past her home on Washington Street I look up and I glance at it For all bereaved parents I send you my love When parents survive their children it's a pain That very few know of My cousin Carissa's and my friends Chris' and Brett's and Dennis' And my ex-girlfriend Katy's mom and dad All became part of the family of bereaved parents And when my father was young, he lost his older brother Lenny His mom and dad joined the bereaved parents group My dad looks down on the ground and gets quiet whenever I mention his name When my little second cousin Carissa died My mother called me and it had been so long since I heard that certain cry Not since the day she divorced my father But they're friendly now, so with that story I'd rather not bother But I flew out there and we gathered in the living room And we all shared stories of a person of whom different amounts of depth we knew The coffee table was filled with prescription d** Carissa's puppy laid at my feet and I gave Carissa's mom a hug And she sat motionless as if there was no air She was in a world all her own in that chair She was the one who gave birth to Carissa and raised her All we would do for her was be there And it's been two years and I know that for her some days are better But the loss of a child has to be the hardest things to bear The loss of a child is something that no parent is prepared The loss of a child is simply unfair For all bereaved parents I send you my love When parents outlive their children It's the cruelest cut For all bereaved parents I know That I don't know But the pain has to be the worst nightmare blow For all bereaved parents I send you my love For all bereaved parents I send you my love
